I really wanted to enjoy this book. While it could be described as 'okay' it doesn't exactly work for me. It fell a little short at times. As a thriller, its okay and the plot fairly rattles along. The writing style is simple enough and easy to understand. The issue I had is that the characters didn't work for me; Jess and Leo are the only characters who develop at all. The other characters are glossed over and never really come to life. I also didn't like the open ending and lack of resolution. The book fell flat for me in the last couple of chapters. This is the third book is a series. I don't think I'd bother with the other two or future books.
